“Dear young people, do not bury your talents, the gifts that God has given you! Do not be afraid to dream of great things!”
- Pope Francis

At IHM, we enjoy working with young people and we want to enable them to live as disciples through their involvement in ministry and leadership. At the heart of our youth ministry is the presence of caring and supportive relationships where youth experience the love of God. Our programs, EDGE (6th-8th graders) and Life Teen (9th-12th graders), are designed to lead teens closer to Christ.
Both EDGE and Life Teen meet on Sunday evenings at 6:15 p.m., immediately following the 5:00 p.m. Life Teen Mass. Teens are encouraged to serve and attend the 5:00 p.m. Mass. Ministry positions needed for the Life Teen Mass are: Altar Servers, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Lectors, Ministers of Hospitality and musicians and singers for the Life Teen Band.
We are also seeking adults (18 years and older) to become part of our Core team to join us in this exciting journey. No experience is necessary! Training is provided to learn best practices in youth ministry from leading a small group to chaperoning retreats. Please prayerfully consider becoming an active member of our Youth Ministry!
